Tonight you've caught your breath
you've lost your american spirit
if only i could catch my death
just give me long enough to fear it
Her talk ain't like the other girls
she takes my livin' at a glance
we hear the locust rasp back and forth
an through our thoughts the past does dance
Do i waste my time
yea well you know it
an as i stroll through the room
see my features show it
Feel the hand on my shoulder
it calls me to dwell
take a breath hard an clear
like a hammer on a church bell
